One of the most frequent and controversial topics pastors and Bible teachers have to address is divorce. The prophet Malachi did, too. Find out what he says to the Israelites who were leaving their wives for foreign girls who worshipped idols and how His message applies to us today.
Whether we are pastors, deacons, or church members, there is certainly a message for each of us in Malachi 2. As we study the life of Levi (and his descendants) we’re reminded that no one can serve God without a reverence for His name.
“I’d rather be the worst sinner on this earth—even a gangster or murderer—than to be the minister who goes into the pulpit with an unbelieving heart and gives pious platitudes.” That’s what our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, tells us as we examine the three sins pastors must avoid and hear how God requires our sincerity and reverence in worship.
The little book of Malachi can be uncomfortable to study. Instead of pointing fingers at others, it helps us take a serious look at our own lives and ask tough questions like, “Am I giving my best to God?” Learn to recognize the warnings the Israelites ignored (the insincerity and hypocrisy in their hearts and worship) and see how the same things are a concern for us.
What does it mean to live a life after God? The Israelites and Malachi disagreed on the answer. We’ll watch Malachi address the priests’ arrogance and expose their blemished rituals as an outward show. As Dr. McGee tells us, “God was telling them what they sacrifice is really a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Any imperfect offering was an insult to Him.”
Who was Malachi? Was he a man or an angel? Together we examine the evidence and discover, ultimately, it’s “the message not the man that matters.” Travel with us through Malachi, and see him confront the Israelites on many of the same issues Nehemiah did, including: the defilement of the priesthood, the foreign marriages and divorce of Israelite wives, and neglecting their giving to God.
Can you imagine a world where everything is dedicated to the service of God—where even the pots and pans in your kitchen sing of the holiness of God? That’s in the Millennial Kingdom when God’s peace covers the earth. Discover more details about this amazing time period on God’s calendar in our final study of Zechariah.
Zechariah prophesies about end times with a description of the “Day of the Lord,” including the tragic last siege of Jerusalem and the glorious advent of the Messiah.
What will happen to the saints living in the Great Tribulation period? Learn more as Zechariah gives further details about the coming Millennium.
Our conversation of world peace continues as Zechariah describes the second coming of Jesus Christ and we gain a glimpse of His glorious kingdom.
Zechariah tells of the pivotal day when God will pour out the Holy Spirit upon Israel, and the Jews will recognize their Messiah and mourn for their rejection of Him.
Although Jerusalem will become the center of the antichrist’s activity, in this study we learn that ultimately it becomes a refuge for God’s people.
s the world ready for the antichrist? As we turn the pages of Zechariah, Dr. McGee says, “Although there is bad news ahead for this world, we can look beyond these things and rejoice in the hope and promise of Jesus Christ’s return.”
Our study of Zechariah, also known as the prophet of hope, continues with “Zechariah’s parable” as we see a picture of Israel’s rejection of the Messiah and the consequent destruction of their nation.
Some people believe God has given up on the ten so-called “lost tribes” of Israel. But were they ever really lost? That’s one of the great things our teacher Dr. J. Vernon McGee discusses in our continuing study of Zechariah.
“Jesus is the only one in the saving business today.” That’s the straight talk we get from Dr. J. Vernon McGee in this study of Zechariah. Learn more about amazing prophecy and God’s future plan for Israel and the entire world.
Did you know the devil imitates Bible prophecy? He’s been using the same scheme from the beginning of time. Discover what that scheme is and the only thing that is guaranteed to defeat Satan’s plans.
Peace on earth. We’re going to hear that phrase a lot as our study of Zechariah continues. But is it possible? Dr. J. Vernon McGee tells where this peace might come from, and it may be different than we think.
Remember when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a small donkey on what we call “Palm Sunday”? The people went crazy, celebrating and waving palm fronds, shouting “Hosanna!” Hear Zechariah’s prophecy of this event and get a broader picture of the important statement Jesus was making.
Alexander the Great was a cruel and brutal general, but did you know the prophet Zechariah foretold his story some 200 years before? Dr. J. Vernon McGee takes us through this amazing prophecy and outlines its fulfillment.

I don't see The Gospel of John?
wow!!! I am dealing with depression and loneliness at the moment , and this is exactly what I need ! I'm speechless.
I once heard a pastor say with a touch of humor that, if you're down, you should probably stay away from Lamentations and go instead to the Thessalonian books. And, in gaining insight from Dr. McGee into how right on God allowed the people in this Church to be, I can see why! They were super-young believers whose only real struggle was with an accurate understanding of how God would end the present age - other than that, they sound like they are really established in their Faith by God's Grace and Power. They are a serious encouragement to me and my fam in how to live for and in Christ in the midst of a less-than-ideal world. Good stuff, by Mr. J. Vernon McGee! Btw, that same pastor said that, when Christians actually read the book of Lamentations, they should do so only after finishing the Thessalonian epistles. 😆
This book, I admit, is my least favorite book. I'm sure there's some very good insight that Mr. McGee can offer.
Love my faithful servant of the Lord!!!!
